THE WHEAT HARVEST comes carrier
this year than usual. Already the Heapers
are busy and thousands of acres sTlll be
shocked before the week is ended. There
has been a decided Improvement ia the
ptdspact during the past month, and
whfls1 the yield in the aggregate will pro
b&bly not be up to the average, yet it is so
mitch better than was thought possible slX
weeks ago that the farmers are colagfatn-
laii9g themselves rather than grulnbllng
I've duality promises to be excellent, and
if ia fine weather continues until the
crl sAsafely gathered, there will be little
cause f'Rr complaint with tie wheat pro-
auoJ OF Alis section.
The 6fs%t Mew wheat was sold in Balt1-
more iasSt weSS. 1t was from Virginia,
and was IF inferl,r quality. The price
paid was SSl00.
notwithstanding the u1aroftableness of
the crop during the past tew wears, the
ge9 Aal IMPRESSION among the farmers is
thaRThe, ACREAGE next fall will be unusually
large. Many things may occur, however,
| between this and seed time to alter this
impression.
The hay crop is abundant and of fine
quality. Already much OF it has been Sc
cared in first-class condltlon. ana before
the beginning of next week the crop Will
| be pretty we'll cleaned up.

THE MARK ETS.
REPORTED BY J. II. BI.ACKLEY, GENERAL CON
MISSION MERCHANT.

The feature of the markets this week is 6
slight advance in flour and a decline in wheat.
This is due altogether to local causes. Many OF
the mills are closed for repairs; and as a conse-
quence flour for local supply is little stiff and
wheat sympathizes with the diminished de-
mand. Wool is firm and active at good figures
In other respects the market is unchanged and
transactions very limited. Prices yesterday

An enthusiastic friend in Portsmouth,

following notice of the marriage OF Capt.
L. /. DWELL, of this place and Miss Mary
GordoA lof Portsmouth
For some time past it has been rumored
that an audacous son of the Mother OF
States and of Presidents had invaded the
dominons of the Buckeye and was laying

fairest daughters.

lock tha lives of Capt. Edward Powell, OF

mouth, Ohio.
A few days since it was found that I'M
perative demands upon Mr.. PoWell's time
in caring for his large interests here would
preclude the possibility of an extended
tour until LATER Then the conclusion was
reached that the contamination OF theii
happiness should note a quiet rather IMAM

above named came Mr.. George Davis

gentleman friend and contractor, land HON.

Powell in his own carriage, drawn by a

A + CIV moments for cordial greetings,
and THE happy couple stood before the. Rev.
Father Schmidt, who, u pleasant tones
pronounced the words of the beautiful
marriage sacrament, and the twain were
madeqne.
Of Capt. Powell it is useless to speak
words OF eulogy to his Virginia friends.
Suffice it to say that his standing here is
as good as his dearest friends could desire.
Of his bride, it is sufficient to say that she
is the amiable, handsome and accomplished
daughter of ]. Y. Gordon, late president

so low that the tops of the houses are
but little higher than the protecting
dyke, and to a person sailing on the

GARDENS OF TIE SAHARA.
Crops of Fruit Raised in What is POpu-
larry Supposed to be Desert.

larry supposed to be q Desert.
The Sahara, it is well known, is not every
where synonymous with desert, and that re-
gion, despite the dryness of its climate and
the general aridity of its surface, possesses
many a well-cultivated and thickly-inhabted
oasis, where the combination of the two ele-
ments of sun and water has produced mar
wells in the way of vegetation. The Lower
Sahara is an immense basin of artesian
waters, and at times there is superabun-
dance; but the number of cultivated tracts
is increasing very rapidly, there being no
fewer than forty-three GASES in the Oued-Rir
which, after a period of thirty years, has
$4,000 inhabitants, $40 palm trees in full
bearing-that is, which have been planted
more than seven years; 10, 900 trees between
trees, while the value of the dates grown
each year averages 100000. The GASES of
Laghouat and Oued-Mizi and those of Very
vile and Ain-Safia have 100000 palm
trees, and those of Figuig 10000; while
Mzab,, with its 10000 inhabitants, nearly
100000. Fab, together with the Sahara
lope of the Aures, has fifty GASES which
grow 100000 palm trees and 50O,000
fruit trees. Sout, with population of Is, 000
has 10000 palm trees of the choicest kind,
and over $4,000 fruit trees. Lastly, the va
rious GASES of Ouargla have over 100000
palm trees and 100000 fruit trees. All these
results, to say nothing of the trade in WOOL
the cultivation of tobacco, vegetables, corn
the vine, and other things grown beneath
the shelter of the palm trees, and of the
raising of ostriches which, it is considered
might be made as profitable as it is at the
Cape, have been arrived at partly by the ma
tives and partly by the French, though the
latter have not begun to COLOMBO Sahara I'M
til within the last ten years. They began by
buying GASES and gardens in the Zab and the
Oued-Rir, and after that they set to work to
form fresh GASES in the region of Bishra, and
especially in the Oued- Rir: the result show
ing that Europeans can withstand the eli
mate of this region, especially as they do
not work themselves, but merely superin-
tend the labor of the natives, who are de-
scribed as being very tractable and skillful
